In the late 1990’s / early 2000’s my friend Lisa McClelland and I went to see Dame Edna Everage at the Canberra Theatre.
Well into the show, she asked who was going out for dinner after the show. Lots of people raised their hands, including me.
She picked me out and asked where we going.
“We haven’t completely decided yet”
“What’s you name?”
“Tony.”
“And who’s that next to you”
“My friend Lisa”
“Tony and Lisa!”
“You look hungry right now!”
And so a phone was brought on stage and she called up Tossellinis and asked that dinner for two be delivered to the stage door in 20 minutes.
And sure enough, 20 minutes later, dinner arrived! A table with cloth, candle and two chairs was put in place and she motioned to Lisa and I to make our way onto the stage and eat dinner!
We complied and enjoyed ourselves.
The audience thought the whole thing was hilarious!
This photo was taken as a memento.
